Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing gray level image data. Gray level image data is subjected to plural separate halftone screen processing to form plural separate halftone processed screen gray level image data. The current pixel is also analyzed for contrast index. In response to analysis of the contrast index blending coefficients for processing of the halftone screen modified image data is made. The respective halftone outputs of the screen processings are multiplied by the respective blending coefficient. The resulting blended halftone gray value of the current pixel as well as neighboring pixels are then subjected to a threshold criterion test to determine if this represents a substantially binary image file such as might occur in a saturated text image file. The blended halftone gray value data for the current pixel is subjected to gray level edge enhancement processing to replace certain binary pixels adjacent an edge to reduce anti-aliasing effects. A signal resulting from the threshold criterion test is used to determine whether there is output to the printer or display of an edge enhanced version of the current blended halftone pixel or a pixel value representing the blended halftone pixel.

Abstract: A device or retrieving embolic coils used for treating an aneurysm of a patient has a flexible distal portion comprising distal collapsible arms with a latch member carried by one of the arms. The wire device, distal end first, is introduced into a microcatheter causing the arms to collapse. The microcatheter is used to deliver the device through a patient's blood vessel to the aneurysm. The distal end of the wire device is then extended beyond the end of the microcatheter allowing the arms to open when they extend out of the distal end of the microcatheter. The latch member is manipulated so that it engages an embolic coil to be retrieved. The latch-engaged embolic coil and wire device are withdrawn through the catheter, whereby the arms become collapsed as the arm is withdrawn through the catheter, securing the latch and the embolic coil. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention provides improved burners, combustion apparatus, and methods for carbon nanomaterial production. The burners of the invention provide sooting flames of fuel and oxidizing gases. The condensable products of combustion produced by the burners of this invention produce carbon nanomaterials including without limitation, soot, fullerenic soot, and fullerenes. The burners of the invention do not require premixing of the fuel and oxidizing gases and are suitable for use with low vapor pressure fuels such as those containing substantial amounts of polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The burners of the invention can operate with a hot (e.g., uncooled) burner surface and require little, if any, cooling or other forms of heat sinking. The burners of the invention comprise one or more refractory elements forming the outlet of the burner at which a flame can be established. The burners of the invention provide for improved flame stability, can be employed with a wider range of fuel/oxidizer (e.g., air) ratios and a wider range of gas velocities, and are generally more efficient than burners using water-cooled metal burner plates. The burners of the invention can also be operated to reduce the formation of undesirable soot deposits on the burner and on surfaces downstream of the burner.
